Iran summons Australian ambassador over Instagram post
Dubai | Iran summoned Australia’s ambassador in Tehran over the publication of online content it deemed “norm-breaking”, the semi-official ILNA news agency said on Tuesday, a day after state media said the post “promoted homosexuality”.
The post on the embassy’s official Instagram account celebrated “Wear it Purple Day” and expressed dedication to creating “a supporting environment where everyone, especially LGBTQIA+ youth, can feel proud to be themselves”.
